I checked enviroment again and some new tests showed a possible little bug and its workaround:

$ aubit-config A4GL_NUMERIC
,.

$ env|grep A4GL_NUMERIC

$ ./formtest.4ae


        Input is 2347

        xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        Test      2347.00
        xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Logoff and new login for the user, just to reload environment


$ aubit-config A4GL_NUMERIC
,.

$ export A4GL_NUMERIC=,.

$ env|grep A4GL_NUMERIC
A4GL_NUMERIC=,.

$ ./formtest.4ae


        Input is 66656

        xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        Test     66656,00
        xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


The workaround is that exporting the variable it works.

Thanks,
Alessandro
